New Balance Numeric

New Balance Numeric is the skate-specific division of the legacy athletic footwear brand New Balance, built to bring NB’s heritage of comfort, quality, and craftsmanship to the world of skateboarding. Launched in 2012, Numeric was created to design performance-driven skate shoes with input from real skaters — balancing board feel, durability, and everyday wearability. 

What Defines the New Balance Numeric Brand

• Skate-Born, Tech-Driven: Numeric shoes combine skate-specific construction (reinforced uppers, grippy outsoles, and impact-ready midsoles) with New Balance’s expertise in comfort and fit.

• Pro-Backed & Tested: Their lineup is shaped by real pro skaters — from veteran stylists to rising talents — who help refine each model for real-world skating demands. 

• Performance + Everyday Style: Numeric shoes perform on the board but also translate to everyday wear; many silhouettes resemble classic NB sneakers reworked for skating.

• Variety & Versatility: Whether you prefer lightweight vulcanized shoes for technical street skating or more cushioned cupsole builds for heavier impact — Numeric offers both.

• Durability & Board Feel: Numeric emphasizes long-lasting materials and outsole grip, while still delivering good “flick” and board control.
